Hi Casey. I agree on the rug. The colors are too random. It would make a good doormat.The design is good though. Just change the colors next time and keep the colorsuniform.I've had a "fail" of sorts too. I now have the oven-bake clay, but I can't seemto settle down to work on the doll. There are too many "must-dos" right now. I tryto keep doll playing as a leisure pursuit but it doesn't always work. I didn't putthe clay "away" with the other clay I have. It is out in plain sight where I walkby all day, so I'm not too likely to forget about it. Hopefully, I can reduce my"must-dos" today and start on a doll tonight or tomorrow.Phyllisa

Hi Casey. Me again. I just recalled that I once read that it helps to keep yourongoing or new projects to start in plain sight. That way we are constantlyreminded about them and more likely to finish or start them. So keep that half-finished afghan over your family room chair (remove the needles), set the dollhouseyou are redecorating on the coffee table, prop your unfinished watercolor paintingon the dining room table, and so forth. And enjoy them now. If you use them as partof your decorating design, they will look as they belong there. And everyone thatcomes to your house can see how you are spending your time. And they may even askyou to show them how to do that.Phyllisa

Phyllisa, as for the rug, the problem is with the thread. The color change is to irregular to control. I have done the same rug with over dyed thread and it came out fine. Over dyed is a more regulated way of placing the dye on the thread. Oh well. This will make fine baskets and afghans.

Hello !! So glad you could make use of the rocks, that really looks nice. Miss you and I'm so happy to have seen you in Feb. Glad to read that the radiation is over and you can get back to normal. Gayle PS I like the rug but I see what you mean, dyeing to get the colors in the right places is anything but random.
